Intro

VEQ-STU 169 is a simple, yet powerful 3-band inductor-based EQ. Add it to your FX chain to achieve a high-end smoothness and headroom with clean and precise lows.

Description

Designed for broad tone shaping, the original that inspired VEQ-STU 169 is still used in studios ranging from vintage analog to high-end digital facilities. Both still make the best of its unique analog color. With a low-pass filter and a sweepable bell mode mid-band, you can surely achieve the sound many other EQs can only dream of. The low frequency band is set to shelve at 60 Hz, the mids are sweepable between 150 Hz & 7 kHz, and the high frequency shelving comes at 10 kHz.

History

Just like the VEQ-STU 089, the 169 was modeled after the EQ sections of the finest Swiss mixing desks. Produced in the late 1970s to early 1980s, these consoles earned their place as top-notch recording devices because of their transparent, only gently colored analog sound.
